Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Fizza and I'm passionate learner and one who loves to share this passion! Here on Outschool I offer loads of interesting classes like Maths, creative writing, book club, critical thinking, baking and cooking, productivity and nutrition.
Most kids love to cook, get messy, lick their fingers but in the process they are learning so many life skills. I want to inculcate this adventure with food where they can be mindful of their food and the can immerse themselves into this art. I have two children myself and they’ve seen me sharing my passion with other kids and so it’s a given that both of them enjoy being in the kitchen with me where we try lots of different things. In my virtual Outschool kitchen club, we create a huge variety of recipes sweet and savoury. I encourage my little crockpots (my learners in the kitchen!!) to try new foods in the class. Please remember that the recipes we create in the class might not always be your learner's favourite. The purpose is to develop their sensibilities to various ingredients so they can choose foods that are good for them. The purpose is for them enjoy and learn cooking cause everyone should know how to cook and feed themselves.
I teach cooking and nutrition, healthy eating at Little Crock Pots Cookery Club for kids and I also teach at a local Sunday school. I have a B.Sc in Biology and Chemistry and I also have a Masters degree in Management Sciences. I have a Diploma from the London school of Journalism in freelance and feature writing. I’ve worked as a content writer and research analyst for major advertising companies and so I also want to bring this experience into teaching. I also have a CPD certification in Numicon teaching. I also have a certification as an Advanced Gut Restoration Nutritional Advisor.
I’ve run cooking classes for more than 8 years at after school cooking clubs, community centres, schools etc.
